This introduction course is aimed at those involved in the administration of international trade to ensure an understanding of rules of origin, product classification and item valuation to meet the demands of international trade in both exporting and importing. Understanding origin, tariffs and valuation is essential for correct calculation of taxation and duties, and mistakes leading to non-payment or underpayment are considered a serious matter by HMRC. They also lead to duty reliefs, so getting this right could save you money.

The course helps you understand the advantages of claiming IPR and OPR, how commodity codes help, the documentation required, and whether AEO may also be helpful for your organisation.

Making cross-border payments is no longer just about speed and cost. Increasing regulatory scrutiny, evolving anti-money laundering and customer due diligence requirements mean UK organisations must get international payments right or risk delays, errors, and compliance issues. This webinar will explore how organisations can make international payments safely and efficiently, while maintaining compliance, transparency, and operational control.

This expert-led webinar from C&B Partners Limited presented by experienced former HMRC officers will equip directors, SMEs, and business advisers with critical insights into tax system changes taking effect from January and April 2026 that could trigger unexpected liabilities or compliance failures, even when business activity remains unchanged.
